Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Horn mod

Even with the silence of my Zero S, I rarely find myself in a situation where my horn would ever trump my maneuverability to avoid danger. Last week, however, I decided to give some driver on the road a chance to show some courtesy and NOT merge into me. It was during one of those two-lane turn deals where the driver on the inside lane couldn't be bothered to stay on the inside lane through the turn. I gave a honk as he started to drift into my lane, but to no avail. Laying down the torque to pull ahead of him allowed me to avoid collision without much of a fuss. Still, I would prefer others to consider my safety.
Now, the stock horn on my 2013 Zero has a decent sound level, but I suppose it's "quaint" in comparison to other cars. I'm under the impression that this is the case with all motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters. Why is that?! Is it the battery? Well, I only need half my battery for my daily commute. That leaves plenty of juice left for a decent horn.
Behold! My 2013 Zero S is now sporting Hella Supertones!
There was no room behind the headlight for even one of these, so I left the stock horn right where it is. Hopefully, it's not robbing its big brothers of any decibels. But holy hell, good luck shrugging off these babies blaring at you from behind!
